If you live in Lawrence, MA and you're looking for a dentist who takes your time, your insurance, and your dental anxiety seriously, the short drive to First Street Smiles in North Andover is worth it. Here's what Lawrence patients tell us when they walk in the door.
Lawrence is home to nearly 90,000 people, and dental options inside the city are limited — especially if you're looking for a single practice that handles everything from a routine cleaning to a same-day implant. Many Lawrence residents end up bouncing between offices: one for general work, another for cosmetic, a specialist for implants, and somewhere else when an emergency hits.
First Street Smiles, just over the line in North Andover, is a 10-minute drive from most Lawrence neighborhoods. It's close enough that you can leave work on your lunch break and be back at your desk in under an hour — but far enough that you get a calmer, less rushed office experience than you'd find at a high-volume urban practice.
From downtown Lawrence to First Street Smiles is roughly 3.5 miles — about 10 minutes door-to-door via Route 114 or Route 28.
We're at 7 First St, North Andover, MA 01845 — easy to reach from any part of Lawrence:
On-site parking is free and right outside the door — no garages, no meters, no walking three blocks in the rain.

First Street Smiles is built around answering yes to all five of those. Dr. Beshay handles general, cosmetic, and surgical work in-house, runs same-day appointment slots for urgent care, and walks every patient through their treatment plan before any work begins.

Most major insurance plans are accepted, and our front desk will run a benefits check before your visit so there are no billing surprises.
Patients coming in from Lawrence tend to mention the same things in their reviews — and they line up with what we hear in the chair every week:
First Street Smiles holds a 4.9-star Google rating from 162 patient reviews — one of the highest in the Merrimack Valley.
Booking is straightforward — call the office during business hours and our team will help you find a slot that fits your schedule. If you prefer not to call, you can request an appointment online and we'll get back to you the same business day.
We're open Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, which makes it easier to schedule around work, school, or shifts that don't follow a standard 9-to-5.
New patients are welcome. If you've got an existing dental issue you want addressed, mention it when you book — we can usually fit urgent concerns into the first visit rather than making you come back.
